I recently went to the dermatologist and was diagnosed with mild/moderate rosacea. The dermatologist prescribed me Rhofade - the beginning of all my problems. The first few days I used Rhofade my skin looked nice and much less pink red. By the 3rd day I noticed in the evening my cheeks felt really hot.

I recently went to the dermatologist and was diagnosed with mild/moderate rosacea. The dermatologist prescribed me Rhofade - the beginning of all my problems. The first few days I used Rhofade my skin looked nice and much less pink red. By the 3rd day I noticed in the evening my cheeks felt really hot. I looked in the mirror and was shocked to see my face more red than it had ever been before. But the next morning I stupidly put the cream on again. By that evening my face was bright red again. By then I was looking at reviews online and was extremely upset. Why did my dermatologist not mention rebound redness was a possibility and how intense it could be?! At that point I stopped using it but I’ve been suffering with frequent flushing and redness for a week now. It is slowly getting better but my skin still looks so stressed and feels hot. At my worst it felt like I had a chemical peel, sunburn and fever all at the same time. STAY FAR AWAY FROM RHOFADE! It is not worth it! I hope I get back to my baseline soon.

Be EXTREMELY careful with this medicine. I had minor redness of the face after taking accutane for 6 months. My doctor gave me Rhofade all nonshalantly. I began to use it once a day everyday for a few months. Well slowly I realized it was actually making my face more red. When I would not put it on, my face would be bright red, making me look ten times worse. I have completely stopped taking it no ... Show Full Comment

I began to use it once a day everyday for a few months. Well slowly I realized it was actually making my face more red. When I would not put it on, my face would be bright red, making me look ten times worse. I have completely stopped taking it now for about a month and my face is still very red. My doctor prescribed me doxycycline to help get rid of the redness but it is not working good. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would rather take a pill instead of a topical at this point. I tried propranolol but it made me dizzy and light headed. Please, anything would help I am desperate!

Derm switched me from years of Noritate, with no issues, to Rhofade I guess because newer/better. I have used it for three weeks and my face is the WORST it has ever been. Extremely red, lots of tiny whiteheads, tons of raised red areas that are sore and thickened/shiny (so make up will not stick to it, like a sunburn). I stopped using this yesterday. Everyone is individual but I would not re ... Show Full Comment

Hi everyone, Just started using Rhofade a few days ago and it has controlled the redness like 95% throughout the whole day. I'm so impressed, but I've been itching like crazy on my chin area and to the left and right of chin. I've read the reviews from others and people have said they feel like a tingling feeling. So far i haven't felt that, just the itching. Has anyone else h ... Show Full Comment

So far i haven't felt that, just the itching. Has anyone else had this side effect and does it go away with time? I can't believe this product has worked so well only to have this annoying side effect. Advice anyone??? It seems like once you find something that works there's always a negative.

I had a HORRIBLE reaction after using the for a couple months. Terrible swelling of my eyelids, even though I didn't put it near my eyes. Red, itchy, rough patches all over my face.
